Principal's Message
Welcome to Center Street School!
At CSS, we are a community of learners committed to creating an environment where every child feels safe, supported, and challenged to reach their highest potential. We believe that student success is a shared responsibility, and it is through collaboration that we help our students thrive. From our dedicated teachers and staff to our supportive families and educational partners—including our Ed! Foundation and PTA—our collective efforts ensure that students have the tools and opportunities they need to succeed.
Our district-wide programs, RULER and the Graduate Profile, serve as essential pillars of our approach. These initiatives equip students with the skills to excel academically while also fostering emotional intelligence, empowering them to navigate learning with confidence and self-awareness. At Center Street, we nurture the whole child—socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically—preparing them to become creative, thoughtful, and engaged members of both their local and global communities.
On behalf of the entire CSS staff, we are honored to be part of this incredible school community. We are grateful for our families’ unwavering support and, most of all, for the joy and energy our students bring to campus each day.
Go Cougars!
Sincerely,
Rose Ahrens, Principal
